Describe the brief/objective of the direct campaign.
Lipton briefed us to convey the message: Tea gives you a clear mind. However by law, we’re not allowed to communicate the fact that 'natural theanin in tea causes mental clarity'. Target was contemporary urbanites who were not easy to catch on traditional media and the message was not an easy pick without the functional benefit.
Therefore we decided to attract the attention of young working adults first on the Internet. We created a mysterious character that 'knows everything with the help of Lipton' We then exploited her popularity on Lipton packs to announce a mobile promotion campaign.

Explain why the creative execution was relevant to the product or service.
We created the character of 'The Woman Who Knows Everything' and communicated 'tea gives you clear mind' on digital media to surprise the target.
Thanks to an artificial Intelligence software, she sipped her Lipton and answered almost all questions correctly on the website as if tea was the cause. Then with her clear mind, she spotted the location of participants correctly with the location query service on mobile.
Participants received different IVR calls for different times of the day when they joined the promotion. Their phones were also assigned with branded ring-back-tones so people calling them listened to our promotional messages. These created huge word-of-mouth among target.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective with reference to the projected response rates and desired outcome.
We created a character on internet: 'The-Woman Who Knows Everything'. She improved her concentration by drinking Lipton on the website. Thanks to an artificial Intelligence software, she answered all questions correctly with 90% success rate as if tea was the cause. 4,3 million people visited within 12 weeks and the woman became an internet celebrity.
We then exploited her popularity on packaging to announce the mobile promotion. We invited people to the text-and-win promotion via MMS. Each participant received an IVR call where the woman claimed she could spot their location this time. And she did that with 97% success rate thanks to location-query service.
